Have you tried giving it treats?

Really? I don't see that as a big age difference. Granted, when I was 19 I dated a 22 year old. I couldn't lie about my age though, as I'd known her for 13 years already.

Hey, my uncle lives in Fresno!

You'll get there! I mean, probably. I don't know you that well.

I still don't know what a shanda is, and this is the second time I've seen it in about four days. Now I'm gonna be too stubborn to look it up.

Are we really not doing PHRASING?

Aw, love ya too!

I got a nice umbrella for that. That's what it was for, right?

I guess if it had led to more different lies (like a more different S), then maybe. But I can't see it being a big deal.

Holy shit.

Yes, it's called the Thriller.

So an 18 year old woman wants to know how to tell her 20 year old boyfriend that she's 18? Somehow I doubt he'll mind.

Yeah, I can't complain too much. Just trying to write a little bit every day, because if I get out of that habit it will be way too easy for me to drift away from it. No matter how happy I am with it.

That makes sense. Still difficult, but better than not knowing where he is.

Yeah, it doesn't really hold up. Especially the science part.

That was a relief to hear.

I'm grateful for awesome AA people. There are things about the organization I don't like (like it's slavish devotion expectation from some people), but overall it does a lot of good things for a lot of good people. And two in particular in my life, who are so so much better off now, in large part thanks to AA.

Nice scare quotes.

I think so. I wonder if they ever try to improve it or if they're just like, "Fuck it, good enough."

I have written nothing for the last three days. Damn life and dead car batteries getting in the way. I don't know that I'll make up for it entirely tonight, but I need to do something so I don't fall out of it entirely.
